Hi, I need to get the text from a HTML file and I wonder if I should use the HTML Parser for this or if I should process it just by reading the text with a lot of comments <!--kkkkkkk -->. Which is the best way to go ? (BTW. I'm working with MacPerl) I need to get the text from the following <html> <body> Some html some html some more htmlcode. Then find the following comment: <!--VALUE: PARTS="4" PART1="3" PART2="0" PART3="2" PART4="1" --> Get the values, read it into scalars $PARTS = '4'; $PART1 = '3'; $PART2 = '0'; $PART3 = '2'; $PART4 = '1'; then get the the rest of the comments which looks like this <!--VALUE: NAME="some_name" --> TEXT TEXT TEXT<br> TEXT <b>TEXT</b> TEXT<br> <!--END --> read it into scalars like this: $some_name = 'TEXT TEXT TEXT<br> TEXT <b>TEXT</b> TEXT<br>'; Some html some html some more htmlcode. </body> </html> I'm not good at matching expressions, is there a good tutorial somewhere or could someone give me some pointers on how to proceed on this? I 'm very gratefull for any help. Yours sincerely Jimmy Lantz ==== Want to unsubscribe from this list? ==== Send mail with body "unsubscribe" to macperl-webcgi-request@macperl.org
